Does anybody have one of these installed on their boat. I have a War Eagle 860LDSV that I would like to put side scan on. I'm not sure if the LSS 2 is to big or not? For the moment I am kinda leaning towards HB because I can get the 6 or 7 inches needed for the HDSI ducer. I plan on mounting it just to the right of the center between keel and first strake. Thanks in advance.

I have an old school LSS-1 so not able to help. I don't think you'd have a problem mounting HB, LSS-1 or LSS-2 on any boat. It's done every day.
Just not sure if I would have enough clearance for the Lss-2. I guess my question should be how much clearance is needed for the lss2?
justinp61 will be along soon to post pix of his LSS-2 on his metal Triton....

Here is a picture of mine I just put on this past weekend. Its on a G3 1860 with a 60 HP Yamaha. Its got plenty of clearance for me. I set mine to ride a little above the water line on plane. Billy

I have mine mounted to the jack plate.
Here's mine. Sorry you really can't tell much from the photo as far as location on the boat, they are close to half way between the center and outside.

Thanks for the pics. They help a lot. I've thought about finding a used jackplate but hate to have to spend anymore than I have to. I've read some people have to trim out while scanning. Guess I could always do that.

Lowrance recommends that the LSS transducers be mounted 12-18 inches from motor when mounted on transom. I think this should give you plenty of clearance from the motor. There is a video on the Lowrance page that demonstrates how to position the Transducers of structure scan. Hope this helps ya, good luck. Video Library - LOWRANCE | Marine ElectronicsQuote:

The clearance I am talking about is not my motor hitting the transducer, but my motor blocking the signal from side to side of the transducer. Seems like a jackplate or just trimming up will work. Thanks for all pics and responses.
